# Configure the Surveys module

**Configuration** sets the default behaviour of all future surveys. It does not change surveys that already exist.

## Reminders

Up to six automatic reminders, each defined by an interval in days. The **timeline** places them between launch and close, which makes an uneven spread visible.

Three sending settings complete the picture: the **send time**, the **batch size** — how many emails go out per batch, to protect the domain's reputation — and **Exclude respondents**, which avoids reminding someone who has already answered.

## Defaults

- **Default confidentiality** and **minimum threshold**.
- **Default duration**, in days.
- **Default language** — French, English or German.
- **Results display** — after close, real time or manual publication.
- **Allow going back to previous questions** and **Randomise question order**.

## Automatic emails

Switch each of the three emails on or off, and set the **sending address** and the **reply-to address**. A valid reply-to matters: that is where employees' questions will land.

## Summary

A banner permanently summarises the configuration: number of active reminders, minimum threshold and when results are shown. If you do not have the right to change this page, it stays readable and says so.
